No, Vader is supposed to be Vader, hidden context and subtextual meanings are just that. They're there for creative writing principals. All i'm saying is that Vader and Luke share an extremely close relationship to God and Jesus in the Bible and George Lucas has said on countless occasions that he used ancient stories, including the bible, to engineer the Star Wars stories.
To say "yes of course Star Wars has religous overtones" and then say "Vader and Luke are not comparable to God and Jesus" is a huge contradiction, especially since it's so obvious.
DJ Darth Vader wasn't evil, remember the end? Vader was being controlled by Palpatine and doing what he thought was best, Vader kills Palpatine and his son opened his eyes (litteraly) to what he has done and Vader thanks him and apologized for his actions. We then see the spirit of Luke's father among his mentors. Like I said there also many passages in the bible where God could be viewed as evil for allowing or even causing horrible things to happen but it has purpose for the greater good. In this case of Star Wars it was destined that Anakin would bring balance to the Force by killing Palps (since Palps is the reason the Force was unbalanced in the first place).
